GOD’S ALPHABET PROMISES 2/2
Part two of two
Galatians 3:14
“He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”
The first part of God’s Alphabet Promises whet appetites of God’s generosity to every child who believes in His Son, Jesus. These are the tip of the promises iceberg I found in my Bible’s Concordance. (Kon-KOR-dans is a dictionary of words found in the Bible). For each letter, there are many more that could have been included. Let’s see how many different promises you can think of.
No [condemnation]. Romans 8:1 promises: “there is
no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Orphans. In John 14:18, Jesus promises: “
I will not leave you as orphans,
I will come to you.”
Prepare. In John 14:2, Jesus promises: “
In My Father’s house are many rooms;
if it weren’t so,
I would have told you.
I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
Quiet. Zephaniah 3:17b promises: “He will take great delight in you, He will
quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Rainbow. Genesis 9:13-16 promises: “I have set My r
ainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth…never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.”
Savior. Titus 2:13 promises: “…we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and
Savior Jesus Christ,…”
Twinkling. 1Corinthians 15:52 promises: “… in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet…the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”
Universe. Philippians 2:15 promises: [Do everything without complaining or arguing] “…so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and deprived generation, in which you shine like stars in the
universe.”
Victory. 1Corinthians 15:57 guarantees: “But thanks be to God! He gives us the
victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Weak. 2Corinthians 12:10 promises in Christ: “For when I am
weak, then I am strong.”
e
Xtends. Luke 1:50 promises: “His mercy
extends to those who fear Him.”
Yes. 1Corinthians 1:20: “No matter how many promises God has made, they are “
Yes” in Christ.
Zion. Romans 11:26 promises “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The deliverer will come from
Zion…’”
See also Isaiah 59:20. The deliverer is Christ, the Messiah. A perfect way to end God’s alphabet promises!
